Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to burrs and inaccuracies.Employ shear cutters, plasma cutters, or abrasive saws specifically designed for carbon steel, followed by thorough deburring.
Inadequate surface preparation before coating or welding.Thoroughly clean the surface to remove oil, grease, and rust using degreasers and wire brushes or grinding discs before any secondary operations.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures & Panels
